Manchester United fans were left baffled by Phil Neville's choice of Jordan Henderson as the Liverpool player he would most like to see sign at Old Trafford.

Neville, who was one of the coaches during David Moyes' ill-fated season in charge, was asked on twitter which of one of Jurgen Klopp's players he would take at United given the chance.

While most supporters are unlikely to want anyone to make the switch from Anfield to Manchester, Neville's selection of Henderson as the ideal candidate went down particularly badly.

Liverpool captain Henderson has improved since his move from Sunderland, but has not reached the standard that Jose Mourinho is likely to target to replace Michael Carrick in the centre of the park.

And while Klopp has not assembled a defence that could significantly improve the limited options at Mourinho's disposal, fans were left confused by Neville's apparent indifference to the attacking talents of Sadio Mane.

And United fans took to social media to ridicule Neville's answer.

One fan remembered the decision to let Neville go at the end of one season as United coach.
